I think the price was $5 each if you bought more than 3 boxes, but the minimum order within the US was $50.?!?!? I wrote to him about getting cards sent over to Australia, and he replied saying "Yes, we do export to Austria [sic], but only orders of $500 or more". Hmmm, what would I do with 100 boxes of Jyhad....? I got the impression they were a bit of a backyard-operation... > also, any info on cheap card sources in the nyc area? Heh,heh... Sorry. This is a email from Vienna. > > thanks, shauna >

I bought some from him, and it kicked ass. I do think, however, that these cards are from that early shipment of cards that were poorly sorted. This seemed to screw up our uncommon distribution, but the rares seemed fine. I actually opened a few packs with odd numbers of cards! Nonetheless, it was a fat deal. We bought 5 CASES, and we have 3 more on the way. It's pretty easy to get a friend to play the game when all he/she needs to spend is about 20 bucks! The deal we got had the box prices at $5 each. I think the Web address is www.edgeman.com or something like that... I'm sure a search would find it. have fun! SinTax!

The last guy was absolutely correct. The Edgeman kicks ass! I bought 2 cases and gave the boxes away for Christmas gifts. Makes a great way to get new players into the game. Just my thoughts, TB

Me and my friend each bought 7 boxes, and we didn't get a single copy of alot of cards. Such as Day Opp, Dawn Opp, Bomb, Drain Essence, Dragon's Breath Rounds, and others. We wondered why, but couldn't argue with the great bargin Jason

Check this out! We opened some more boxes of starters last night and one of my friends opened two starter decks that had rares where the uncommons should have been! Well, gee, guess that's pretty cool, huh? In two starters he got 30 rares (of course the normal rares ere there as well). I know weve beat this thing to death already, but I had to add that. -SinTax!

He was selling booster boxes for US$5.00 plus shipping, $50.00 minimum order. (shipping rates are $4.00 for the first box, $1.00 for each box thereafter, last I asked) This deal is currently funding several sealed booster Jyhad tournaments for my gaming group in Boston, MA. The next one is Sat. Jan. 24th at 12 noon. If anyone can come, they're welcome to e-mail me for directions... Regards, R. David Zopf guenh...@mindspring.com Atom Weaver....
